When I start up FF after it has been closed for more than 5 min, it will open a page that I visited a month ago. I have deleted all history and cookies and it still will open to this page ( ebay page ) It won't do it if I shut down FF for 5 min but any longer than that and I have the same problem. Uninstalled ff and reinstalled an older version and still the same problem.

This can be a problem with the file sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Profile Folder

Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak and any existing files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js to prevent Firefox from restoring a previous session.
